Question

Write about oxidants and reactants.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

An oxidant is a reactant that oxidizes or removes electrons from other reactants during a redox reaction. An oxidant may also be called an oxidizer or oxidizing agent. When the oxidant includes oxygen, it may be called an oxygenation reagent or oxygen-atom transfer (OT) agent.
Reactants are the substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.

Answer 2

Oxidising Agent or Oxidant

An oxidising agent is a substance which supplies oxygen or any other electronegative element, or removes hydrogen or any other electropositive element. An oxidising agent after carrying out oxidation is itself reduced in a chemical reaction.

Reducing Agent or Reductant

A reducing agent or reductant may be defined as a substance which supplies hydrogen or any other electropositive element, or removes oxygen or any other electronegative element. A reducing agent after carrying out reduction is itself oxidised in a chemical reaction.
